But the swimmer never confirmed the claims, and now it seems his long-term girlfriend Nicole Johnson - who it was rumoured he had previously split from - is still number one in his life - so where does that leave Taylor?

Michael and Nicole first appeared to have split back in 2012 before rekindling their romance, and now the brunette beauty has posted loved up photos with her man - signalling they're still going strong.

In a selfie taken on Sunday together, she wrote: "Out with my grizzlyman @m_phelps00 #datenight #nerds #movietime."

She then added a snap with Michael and the family to celebrate Thanksgiving - and they look perfectly in love once again.

It comes after Taylor claims she met Phelps on dating app Tinder and described their sex life as "amazing".
